Directional antennas in ad hoc networks offer many benefits compared with classical omnidirectional antennas. The most important include significant increase of spatial reuse, cov...
—Providing quality-of-service (QoS) assurances in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is difficult due to node mobility, contention for channel access, a lack of centralised coordin...
Cognitive Radio (CR) technology constitutes a new paradigm to provide additional spectrum utilization opportunities in wireless ad hoc networks. Recent research in this field has ...

IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
MLS is a distributed location service to track the position of mobile nodes and to route messages between any two nodes. The lookup of nodes is achieved by searching in a hierarch...
